ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – Boston Celtics guard Delonte West is out indefinitely after breaking his right hand.
West was hurt in the second quarter of Boston’s 106-104 loss at Miami on Sunday night. It was only the rookie’s second game since coming off the injured list. He broke his right thumb in the preseason.
In limited action, West had seven points, four assists and three rebounds.
The injury put a damper on Monday night’s reunion between West and Jameer Nelson – the backcourt mates who lifted St. Joseph’s to an undefeated regular season last year.
Nelson, the consensus college player of the year, is averaging 4.5 points and 2.2 assists as Orlando’s backup point guard.
